Glad it worked out stimpy!
I get cheap fares all the time to Douala (never paid more than $900 USD and mostly $700-800). Once I had to start my trip in Switzerland on Air France to get the cheap fare as it cost about $800 flying ZRH-CDG-DLA-CDG-ZRH or $3000 CDG-DLA-CDG on the same dates and using the same Air France planes.
